Absolute Resonance

side.
Under normal circumstances at least.

This was something that Li Rouyun understood very clearly.
At present, one of the four Hall Masters of the Green Nether Hall had already sided with Zhong Yushi.
The remaining one had chosen to remain neutral.
As such, she had been the only one opposing him all this while.
If Zhong Yushi managed to gain the support of yet another Hall Master that was aligned with him, she would completely lose any form of influence within the Green Nether Hall.

Unfortunately, there was little that she could do about it.
She was part of the Western Region ’s Li Family, which was a distant branch, and they could offer little assistance here.
It was very unlikely that any strong and influential Duke would come forward and support her. 

Originally, her plan was to leverage Li Luo ’s background and nominate Ox Biaobiao.
However, Ox Biaobiao was badly injured and had not recovered.
It would only cause a commotion if she forcibly pushed him up for the position of Hall Master. 

As such, Li Rouyun was full of worries.

She could not help but glance at Li Luo as she thought about all this.
Noticing her glance, Li Luo gave her a smile of assurance.
He understood Li Rouyun ’s worries.
After all, the news of Ox Biaobiao ’s recovery had been concealed by Li Jingzhe.
None of the elders knew about it either.

When she saw his reassuring smile, the stress she felt was slightly alleviated.

”The Green Nether Hall has always had the lowest number of Hall Masters.
It ’s about time we added a new one to lighten the workload and stress for all of the other Hall Masters. ” Zhao Xuanming, the Main Hall Master of the Gold Light Hall, was the first to speak up after Li Jingzhe.
He had a slight grin on his face as he agreed with the proposition.

Hearing this, Li Qingpeng and Li Jinpan exchanged glances with each other immediately.
They understood what Zhao Xuanming was so happy about.
Zhao Xuanming and Zhong Yushi had always been pretty close with each other.
It would not even be surprising if it was revealed that Zhao Xuanming had taken an active role in helping Zhong Yushi establish control over the Green Nether Hall.

After all, they were both Hall Masters that were not part of the direct bloodline, so it was only normal that they would band together. 

”Lineage Chief, with regards to the new Hall Master for the Green Nether Hall, there are two potential candidates based on the rules and regulations.
You may find more details here. ” Zhong Yushi stood up from his seat.
There were two jade-tablet scrolls in his hands, each filled with the details of the two City Lords that he was planning to nominate.

Li Jingzhe raised his hand, and the jade-tablet scrolls flew over to his side.

When he saw this, Zhong Yushi continued respectfully, ”The first individual is Yin Guizhi, the City Lord of Tianjing City.
He is a fifth-grade Duke.
The second is Mu Feng, the City Lord of Huangji City.
He is said to have the potential to become a sixth-grade Duke.

”As City Lords, they have demonstrated their qualifications with ample experience in ruling their cities and have contributed significantly to our lineage.
According to the rules, they fit the criteria to be elected as Hall Masters of the Green Nether Hall. ” As soon as Zhong Yushi finished his words, many elders present started nodding in agreement.
They must have heard of these two City Lords before, particularly Mu Feng, as he had the potential to break through. 

Generally speaking, one would need to be at least a fifth-grade Duke to be eligible.
Zhong Yushi and Li Rouyun were both sixth-grade Dukes currently, while the remaining two Hall Masters were fifth-grade.

However, the Green Nether Hall was the weakest amongst all the halls.
Many other halls had stronger Hall Masters.
For example, the strongest Hall Master of the Gold Light Hall, Zhao Xuanming, was a bona fide eighth-grade Duke! He was significantly stronger than Li Jinpan and Li Qingpeng.

When Li Rouyun heard his recommendations, her eyes darkened a little.
Those two were indeed the most promising City Lords amongst all the districts under the Green Nether Hall ’s jurisdiction.

If they had chosen to side with Zhong Yushi, it would be really hard for anyone else to compete with them. 

As everyone whispered among themselves, Li Jingzhe took a quick glance at the jade-tablet scrolls and memorized all the important information within them. 

”I have called the two of them over to Dragon ’s Fang Mountain today.
If the Lineage Chief is interested, I can get them to come in immediately, ” Zhong Yushi continued politely.
He was adequately prepared to the last detail today. 

However, there was not much reaction on Li Jingzhe ’s face.
He placed the jade-tablet scrolls down as if he was deep in thought.

At this moment, Li Luo, who had been standing behind him all this while, took a step forward and said respectfully, ”Respected Elder, I would like to nominate a candidate to be the Hall Master of the Green Nether Hall as well. ”

When the words came out from his mouth, everyone ’s attention turned towards him immediately. 

Zhong Yushi calmly replied, ”I understand that Banner Leader Li Luo might have made remarkable achievements in recent days.
However, according to the rules and regulations, only a Hall Master has the right to make a nomination. ”

This was a cunning man who knew how to phrase things eloquently.
He would only repeat the rules and regulations as everyone in the lineage knew that this was what the Lineage Chief deemed important.

Li Luo smirked in response, only taking out a plaque from his sleeve.
At this point, Zhong Yushi ’s mouth turned a little crooked.

This was the plaque of the Main Hall Master of the Green Nether Hall.

With the plaque in his hands, there was no doubt that he possessed some of the authority of the Main Hall Master now.
According to the rules and regulations, he was indeed fit to nominate someone for the position.

Zhong Yushi ’s eyes narrowed a little and secretly exchanged glances with Zhao Xuanming at the side.
In the end, he lowered his eyes and gave in.

It was time to see what the brat had up his sleeve.
